  • Publication number: 20210210179
    Abstract: Resulting medical image data to a client device includes storing medical data in a plurality of medical data sources. Interaction information is received that results from first user interaction on the client device performed by a user. The first user interaction results from review of information pertaining to a first patient. A user action analysis module analyzes the interaction to produce results. A first set of evolving contextual clinical data (ECCD) rules associated with the user based on the first user interaction is invoked to determine one or more medical data categories that are likely to be of interest to the user. The first set of ECCD rules are generated by a user behavioral analyzer within an ECCD engine that derives user behavioral patterns based on prior user interactions with different medical information presented to the user with respect to reviewing different medical information of patients.

  • Publication number: 20210098113
    Abstract: A plurality of image processing engines are hosted within an image processing system. Each image processing engine performs one or more image processing operations or clinical content processing operations on medical images and clinical content. A user interface allows a user to configure the plurality of image processing engines for a particular study of images. The user interface allows the user to configure the plurality of image processing engines in any one of the following configurations: a series configuration where the image processing engines operate in series so that an output from one image processing engine serves as input to a next image processing engine; a parallel configuration where each image processing engine in the plurality of image processing engines operates without input from any other image processing engine in the plurality of image processing engines.

  • Patent number: 10679402
    Abstract: A medical image viewing system allows multiple person viewing of rendered medical images, the medical image viewing system. A medical image processing system receives medical image data and manipulates the medical image data to produce first rendered medical image data that includes the medical image data plus image manipulation results. A first client system receives the first rendered medical image data from the medical image processing system. The first client system displays to a first end user on the first client system, a first 3D medical image that is based on the first rendered medical image data. The first 3D medical image is displayed within an augmented reality environment or a virtual reality environment so that within the augmented reality environment or the virtual reality environment the first end user has a first viewer location and a first viewing angle of the first 3D medical image.

  • Patent number: 10559114
    Abstract: Automated three-dimensional (3D) printing work flow through a network is provided. A network server receives through the network a request to convert 3D segmented medical image data to information print-ready for printing on a 3D printer. The 3D segmented medical image data is converted to a converted data file in a medical image data file format that allows multiple sub-segmentation of a particular human anatomy or region of interest. The medical image data file format allows for storage of mask segmentation information. Identifying information, including patient information, is removed from metadata of the 3D segmented medical image data when converting to the converted data file.

  • Patent number: 10452813
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence findings system includes an artificial intelligence findings system. An image identification engine receives new image data pertaining to a patient and past reports and image data pertaining to the patient. The image identification engine uses the past image data pertaining to the patient to identify for study images of patient anatomical structures, anatomical anomalies and anatomical features within the new image data. A findings engine receives new image data and processes the new image data to generate findings based on the new image data and based on the identified for study images of patient anatomical structures, anatomical anomalies and anatomical features within the new image data. A communication interface provides the findings to a diagnostic review system that presents the findings to a user. An adjustment engine receives notifications of changes to findings made by a user when using the medical image interpretation system.

  • Patent number: 10417804
    Abstract: Multiple person viewing of rendered medical image is achieved by manipulating an image by the server to produce first rendered medical image data that includes the medical image data plus image manipulation results. A first 3-D medical image that is based on the first rendered medical image data is displayed within an augmented reality environment or a virtual reality environment so that the first end user has a first viewer location and a first viewing angle of the first 3-D medical image. A second 3-D medical image that is based on second rendered medical image data is displayed within the augmented reality environment or the virtual reality environment so that the second end user has at least one of a second viewer location and a second viewing angle that is different from at least one of the first viewer location and the first viewing angle of the first 3-D medical image.
